Anyone who’s read my column for the last decade - or indeed, been alive in Britain - knows Labour bloody loves to buckle to this pressure. A red govt hardly guarantees progressive change. But it does provide a chance. Write to your MP. Share these articles. The right are lobbying. The left must too.

Movie posters that could only be put up in British railway stations, one of a series of probably one.
An ad for a ghost movie with the tagline "See it. Séance. Haunted."; a reference to the British Transport Police's long-running "See it. Say it. Sorted." ads encouraging the public to report anything vaguely suspicious.

If autism is always a medical condition, then every autistic person must have access to a clinical diagnosis. If it isn't, then self-identification and mainstream non-medical discussion are inevitable, and not to be scolded as "trivialising a medical condition". You can't have it both ways.
